First Aid Treatment for Survivors of Disasters at Sea is published for use by all Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine personnel as a guide in giving emergency first-aid treatment to shipwreck survivors. It is recommended that it be given the widest distribution possible, particularly to those ships and stations where "survivors of ship disasters at sea" are likely to be picked up and where there is no medical attention immediately available. A copy should be made a part of the standard equipment for all types of lifeboats and rafts, and a quota based upon complement should be issued to all vessels. First Aid Treatment for Survivors of Disasters at Sea covers an entirely different field from that to which the usual understanding of "first aid" applies. These procedures are based upon the experiences and needs of 9,114 survivors of 167 ship disasters; the points emphasized are blast and submersion injuries, immersion foot, frostbite, sunburn, eye inflammations, starvation, thirst, and mental disturbances.

"Batteries last hours, books last decades. Get the print edition!" "The fate of the wounded rests in the hands of the ones who apply the first dressing" - Nicholas Senn, 1898 (49th President, American Medical Assn.) When disaster strikes and medical personnel are not readily available, it is the knowledge and behavior of the non-medical people present that save lives. Use this book to learn both self-aid, and aid to others ("buddy aid"). Foremost, it provides the tools you and your comrades require to promptly and effectively sustain life, and minimize suffering and disability. Covering topics not found in civilian guides including nuclear, biological and chemical situations and first aid for psychological reactions to stress and trauma, this indispensable book is essential preparedness for every home, business and vehicle.

However, many individuals and units prefer to retain this version as it is a full, profusely illustrated medical first responder's handbook, whereas TC 4-02.1 is designed to cover similar ground without illustrations and in less detail, to occupy less space. If you would like to compare the two and decide which is appropriate for your needs, please search for ISBN 197462837X, "The Official US Army First Aid Guide". Thank you.
